This edition includes a focus topic that
discusses how 15 years of education reforms have helped to
improve education outcomes and human capital in Indonesia,
and what challenges remain. The outcomes from 15 years of
educational reform have been mixed, with a significant
expansion inaccess, but a large deficit in quality. In 2002,
Indonesia embarked on a series of policy reforms to
strengthen access to and the quality of education, both key
determinants of human capital development. After 15 years,
however, the results of the reforms have been mixed.
Enrolments have grown significantly, but student learning
remains below the levels of other countries in the region.
For example, 55 percent of 15-year olds are functionally
illiterate, compared to lessthan 10 percent in Vietnam.
Education reform covered the right areas, but implementation
challenges led to uneven results. Most elements of the
reforms were aligned with international best practices and
had strong potential to improve Indonesian education
outcomes. Educationreform included increasing financing for
education, enhancing participation of local actors in sector
governance, strengthening accountability, improving the
quality of teachers, and ensuring students’ preparedness as
they enter schooling. Significant implementation challenges
prevented the policy reform from reaching its full
potential. While steps have been taken to address some
ofthese challenges, further actions are urgently needed. In
particular, measures need to be taken tostop growing
inequality in student results, and to take advantage of the
opportunity generated by the large number of teachers
retiring in the next decade. Key recommendations include:
defining and enforcing qualification criteria to be met by
every teacher who enters the classroom, complementing the
existing financing mechanisms for education with a targeted,
performance-based transfer for lagging schools and
districts, and launching a national education quality
campaign to generate public awareness and pressure for
effective action to improve student learning. |
